Full-day expedition
Van Phong Bay
80 km north of Nha Trang: an unspoiled bay of drop-offs, swim-throughs and turtles.
Adventure is just a dive away.
What to expect at Van Phong Bay
Van Phong Bay sits 80 km from Nha Trang city and is known for its beauty and unspoiled nature. Far less commercialised than the bay sites, it trades convenience for a genuinely peaceful day on the water.
There are sites here for every level — Hon Tai, Phat Wall, Bai Su, Hon Trau Nam and Bai Gieng — with colourful tropical fish, sea turtles and vibrant hard and soft corals.
The underwater topography is the draw: drop-offs, swim-throughs and interesting geological features, with 10 to 15 metres of visibility depending on the season.
Highlights
- Five distinct dive sites
- Sea turtle encounters
- Drop-offs and swim-throughs
- Away from the crowds
